Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman’s briefing on the Iran pact reminds us of a test Secretary of State Shultz used give newly minted ambassadors of America as they were about to go out into the world. He would invite them into his office, walk them over to a globe, and ask them which is their country. The newly minted envoy would then spin the globe and stop it at the nation for which they were about to depart. Secretary Shultz would then spin the globe again, stopping it at America and exclaiming, “No, this is your country.”
